Answers: i want to keep of antibiotics if possible
Hi,
This is a variation on the honey and lemon theme.
2lemons..all the juice..vitC
Honey for sweetness...antibiotic effects.
Finely chopped ginder root....boosts immune system and general constitution.
Water, but only a little.
Heat in saucepan to reduce to a liquor.
Take care with temp of liquid...sip carefully.
This blows the lid off any cold/cough I've ever had.
Enjoy.
If its one of those dry hacking itchy throat kinda coughs, try a spoonful of honey. It coats your throat and helps quite the cough.
Most coughs do not need an antibiotic. Over the counter cough medications, some of the "natural" cough drops made of lemon and honey, increasing your water intake which thins the secretions and decreases the frequency of your cough and running a humidifier in the bedroom where you sleep all will help.
Manuka honey.
Echinacea is very helpful, I snuck some into my brother's juice once as he wouldn't take voluntarily - thought it a load of hog-wash and doesn't believe in natural remedies and he had a stinker of a cough - 2 days later it was all but gone.
Good luck, matey!
Hi ,try a couple of spoonfulls of clear honey with some lemon juice,mixed into a little hot water,the lemon will help cut any phlegm and the honey will help sooth a sore throat caused by coughing,the hot water just helps melt the honey and makes it easier to swallow.You could also make up a jug of sliced fresh lemons,with boiling water poured over,add a few spoons of honey to sweeten , leave it to cool,and drink it during the day.
Balm of Gilead syrup is very very good.
Or if it's a sort of chesty cough, i suggest a steam bath of eucalyptus - just a couple of drops in a bowl of boiling water, pop a towel over your head and inhale it fumes. It will help break up any mucus in you chest and get rid of it.
Alternatively, you could just pop down to your local herbalist or something and get there advice.
Hope you get rid of your cough soon!!
if you peel an onion and cut a conical section out of it without cutting through to the other side. Then fill this hole with sugar and add water. Leave it for about 24 hours and then drink the syrup from the onion.,
Don;t ask why, but it works!!
hi try hot drinks with plenty of honey or you could buy bronchial balsam from the supermarket.that is really good.
